Caroline Herring

With accolades and endorsements from critics and fellow musicians alike, Signature Sounds recording artist Caroline Herring has emerged as one of the most literate and distinctive songwriters of her generation and one of the freshest voices to hit the music scene in a long time. Since her debut in 2001, Herring has gained a devoted following and much critical acclaim. Named "Best New Artist" at the Austin Music Awards, Caroline has been profiled on NPR's "All Things Considered," been a guest on Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion," and was the only American representative involved in the prestigious Cecil Sharp Project in England, a group of musicians commissioned to compose music based on the life and collections of the famous song catcher.

Caroline has established herself as a lyrical and inventive songwriter and a singer whose vocals never fail to move the listener with her high trills and rich vibrato. The Mississippi native, now based in Atlanta, has been compared to Lucinda Williams, Joan Baez, and even Mozart.

Caroline's songs are always perfect little mysteries and powerful, hopeful love stories, but they are never simple thrilling romances. They are complex, modern, tradition-influenced compositions about love and hate and everything in between. On CAMILLA, her recently released sixth CD, she has created her most profound album yet with a collection of ten deeply moving songs.

Emily Kate Boyd

Emily Kate Boyd is an American roots-rock musician and songwriter. Her distinctive voice and imaginative lyrics assert her Tennessee upbringing, particularly in vocal jazz, blues and old-school country.

She has independently released five albums with contributions from Grammy Award-Winners Shawn Mullins and Clay Cook (Zac Brown Band). Emily recently returned to the USA after living in Argentina for two years, picking up a global network of creative collaborators along the way.
Her music has been featured by "On Being" with Krista Tippett. Creative Loafing called her the "love child of Van Morrison and Ani Difranco". And Nooga.com (her hometown online rag) said this about Emily:

“Chattanooga native Emily Kate Boyd creates music with ties to the histories of country, blues and folk music-but even those genres seem to bend and twist around her bucolic narratives and gorgeous melodies. Her songs are stories with a commanding presence that can easily shift from aching emotionality to stark rationalization in a heartbeat. There’s something unpredictable in her voice, as if these songs were just the beginning of grand history and not the end; these stories continue on after the music ends, and we’re left with the uncertainty of their conclusion. And it’s this sense of questionable resolve that draws you back to her music time and again, ready to hear just one more note.”
